When schools look at a candidate's research experience, what exactly are they trying to gauge? I ask since I think I have good research experience, but I've never actually worked in a research lab (or for an experience researcher).
Will my own independent research experiences carry weight with the more research-heavy medical schools? Should I figure out a way to get formal experience in a lab? Is all of this a moot point since my projects are psyc and public health rather than a hard science?
